Power outages & my poor PC.

Advertisements [?]

We have power outages in my area quite often. Usually I just shut the computer down & wait for the wind to stop, but as a Mod I don't feel I can since it might be windy for days. Well, after 3 outages (they usually just last a second or so) the computer started doing weird things. I mean really, really weird. As soon as I ran all the checks (which found nothing wrong) & then rebooted it ran fine. Computer, heal theyself!

What I want to know, is there anything I can buy? A battery back-up? Something to keep it going for even a short time until I can shut it down safely.

thanks for any help.

:hi:
